Weather permitting this will be a trip out to Pretty Valley Hut. I plan to have lunch somewhere out on the trail so pack something to eat, a warm drink and something to sit on. 

Aproximately 10 - 15kms

Sorry but this is not suitable for beginners. 

The club has 3 sets of snowshoes 

Please check what to bring on the day. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Meet at Bunnings Wodonga carpark 7.00am

GRADE 3

Suitable for most ages and fitness levels. Some bushwalking experience recommended. Track may have short steep hill sections, a rough surface and many steps.

 

 

Day Walking / XC Skiing / Snowshoeing in the Alps

Activities in the Alps require additional safety equipment due to the fact that weather can change really quickly from benign to dangerous

  • Current Medical Information Form found on the website here
  • Water - 2 litres recommended - exercise in the Alps uses prodigious amounts of fluid
  • Sunscreen
  • Gloves and hat
  • Sufficient food bearing in mind the distance and duration of the event (snacks for morning and afternoon tea and lunch)
  • Suitable clothing and footwear - note denim pants are uncomfortable
  • Wet weather waterproofs, jacket and pants
  • Thermal top and bottoms
  • Walking poles
  • Gaiters
  • Basic first aid kit including your specific medication eg asthma applicator
  • Torch or headlamp for contingencies
  • Whistle
  • Toilet paper, trowel and sanitiser
  • A set of dry clothing in a separate bag to be left in the car to change into if you get wet
